  Parent comment here was not in response to you, but to ssivark's comment. My point earlier was that people who solely use Python aren't DK exhibits in action simply because they know one language. Further, they may do so as a consequence of tech stack used in their roles or in their organizations. Given Python's adoption in the data domain, many people in the space use code simply as a tool to get things delivered.

    And should not be relied on to suggest data formats that can be useful in other languages, as others in this thread have pointed out. Python is useful for people who have no formal training, but they are leveraging off the work of others. I hope you can understand how experts do not attach much weight to people still trying to figure out how computers actually work.

      And this point: > experts do not attach much weight to people still trying to figure out how computers actually work is a much weaker form of this point: > It is impossible to have an intelligent discussion with someone who only knows Python, FSVO know. Dunning-Kruger in action. The first point is true for anyone focused on a single language, outside of perhaps Assembly. The second is simply wrong.
